January is Soup Month! Grab a Bowl at the Boot

January is designated as National Soup Month, which is perfect timing smack dab in the middle of this incredible chilly time of year. The weather is cold outside, but a steaming bowl of delicious soup from Wobbly Boots Roadhouse is just what you need to warm your bones, as well as the rest of your body! 

The Boot makes a mean pot of soup that you can enjoy a cup or bowl of alone for a light meal or paired with best BBQ in Des Moines. We've got one scrumptious flavor that's always on the menu, and a second one that changes daily depending on how creative the kitchen crew is feeling that day. 

Baked Potato Soup
This delicious dish can be ordered off of our menu 7 days a week, all year long. Big chunks of potato and savory bacon are featured in this rich and creamy soup, and that hearty goodness is garnished with cheddar-jack cheese, green onions, and even more bacon crumbled on top. 

You're getting a dose of 3 of the 5 major food groups right in there, and if you enjoy it with a few crackers, well that adds a 4th. Drink a glass of orange juice with that (possibly with a bit of vodka from the bar mixed in...) and you've got a well-balanced meal!   

Soup of the Day
Even though our amazing Baked Potato Soup will leave you wanting it again and again, every once in a while it's good to switch things up and try something new. For this reason, we also offer a second soup option every day. Just ask your server when you come in to order what wonderful homemade concoction the kitchen has prepared for that particular day. 

Sandwich/ Soup/ Salad Combos
If you enjoy having something in addition to your soup, we've made that easy for you. We also offer a yummy combo plate where you get to pick 2 out of these 3 items to enjoy together for lunch or dinner. 

• Bowl of Soup
• Garden Salad
• Sandwich (either Ham & Swiss or Turkey & Swiss served on golden toasted sourdough bread) 

Hot, Delicious, and Satisfying

We're sure that you have your favorite things to order from the Wobbly Boots BBQ menu every time you come in, but if that doesn't include one of our soup options already, celebrate Soup Month with us and give it a try. One taste and your body and soul will be all warmed up, and when you're done your tummy will be full and happy! That's pretty much true about all of the food that you order from our BBQ restaurant in Des Moines, so no matter what you decide to eat, you're going to leave happy and satisfied. 

Award-winning BBQ right here in Des Moines!

Letting Wobbly Boots BBQ cater your event will take a lot of that pressure off of you and allow you to enjoy the party along with everyone else.

Bring Your Party to the Boot
Our Des Moines catering service is perfect if you have the space to throw your party, but if you'd prefer to leave the room setup and cleaning to us, bring your gang to our private party room.

We also offer platters of our award-winning chicken wings, bacon wrapped shrimp, fruits & veggies, and even dessert. Private parties are also allowed to pre-order our Plated Prime Rib Dinner, which is normally only available after 5 pm on Fridays & Saturdays.

The Early History of Our Modern Smoked Meatloaf

Fall is the perfect time to cozy up and enjoy some tasty, Southern comfort food. The smoked meatloaf on our Des Moines BBQ restaurant menu is a popular item around here. It's a dish that nearly everyone has fond memories of from childhood, but we put our own Wobbly Boots Roadhouse twist on it by preparing it in the smoker.

Meatloaf's Long History
The origin of this delicious loaf of meat dates back as early as 5th century Rome. The recipe found in one of their ancient cookbooks was made my mixing chopped meat, bread, and wine. Meatloaf is also a traditional dish of Germany, Scandinavia, and Belgium, and it has been linked as a "cousin" of the Dutch meatball.

The origin of modern-day American meatloaf comes from a dish called "scrapple." German-Americans in Pennsylvania made this by combining leftover pork scraps and trimmings with cornmeal and other seasonings. This particular recipe was pan-fried before being served.

The meatloaf of today didn't begin showing up in cookbooks until the late 19th century. It was a very popular dish during the Great Depression because it gave families the ability to stretch inexpensive meats into a large meal. Lots of filler ingredients could be added to make it serve more people, and many housewives went so far as to create "meatless" meatloaves. 

Our Smoked Meatloaf
Wobbly Boots Roadhouse's homemade meatloaf can be found on our Southern Comfort Foods section of the menu, along with our Smoked Turkey Dinner, Prime Rib Hot Beef, and Chicken Fried Chicken. The term "comfort food" is used to describe dishes that are fairly simple to prepare and often has some type of nostalgia associated to it for the diner. You know, like something that Mom or Grandma used to make. 

We take this "simple" dish and make it even easier for you by doing all of the prep work and cooking, but we add something extra that you probably don't do at home. We slow roast this meatloaf in our hickory smoker. That flavor adds another level of amazing to this savory food. Just ask our customers! 

"I am not going to lie to you. Whoever came up with the idea of smoked meatloaf deserves a statue somewhere in their honor. This place does it better than most! Good sized portions of great tasting meat with just the right amount of smokiness made it a perfect dinner. Good selection of local beer on tap to wash it down. Guy next to me had the burnt ends which smelled and looked very good too...he wouldn't take his eyes off them for long enough to steal one so I guess I'll have to come back another time. Sean kept my beer glass full." 
Jeff C., Norman, OK, Yelp review

To make the entire experience of dining on our smoked meatloaf even better, we pair it with our home-style smashed potatoes & beef gravy and green beans. That's a plate that's going to hit the spot just right on a chilly, fall day! 

Give It A Try!
We have a reputation for having the best BBQ in West Des Moines, but once you taste our smoked meatloaf, we have a feeling you'll be telling your friends all about our incredible Southern comfort foods too. If you've already had that particular menu item, we'd love to hear what you have to say about it. Join us at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse in Clive soon, pull up a chair, get comfortable, and let us fill your belly with one of our hot, mouth-watering menu items.

National Seafood Month... at the Boot? Of Course!

October happens to be National Seafood Month, and while the best BBQ restaurant in Des Moines may not be your first thought when you think seafood, it can be! Our diverse menu contains more than just the most amazing BBQ in Iowa. Wobbly Boots Roadhouse has a little something for everyone, and our seafood dishes happen to be incredible.

Our seafood options consist of shrimp, crab, and catfish. We put our very own Wobbly Boots Roadhouse spin on them for a taste that simply cannot be beat. It is recommended that you eat seafood at least twice a week, but once you try these dishes, you may want to have it even more often than that.   

Shrimp
Shrimp are high in protein and many other key nutrients like selenium, Vitamins D and B12, and zinc, and they contain two antioxidants that are important to your body's health. They taste pretty great on their own, but with the addition of our hickory-smoked bacon, the flavor is unbelievable! 

Bacon Wrapped Shrimp
5 jumbo shrimp individually wrapped with our hickory-smoked bacon, grilled to perfection.

Bacon-Shrimp Salad
A chilled salad bowl filled with mixed greens, bleu cheese crumbles, diced tomatoes, red onions, a hard-boiled egg, and finished with our incredible bacon wrapped shrimp. Delish!!!!

Surf and Turf
A 6 oz top sirloin steak grilled to your liking, topped with sauteed onions and mushrooms, accompanied by three grilled jumbo bacon wrapped shrimp. Two great items on one platter... Outstanding!!! For a small additional charge, you can add 3 bacon wrapped shrimp to any of our steak dinners. 

Grilled Shrimp Wrap
Grilled jumbo shrimp with bacon, lettuce, tomato & cheddar-jack cheese all wrapped up in a warm tomato basil tortilla. 

Sauteed Shrimp Dinner
Six Jumbo Shrimp gently sauteed in garlic butter until perfect.

Breaded Shrimp Dinner
Six Jumbo shrimp lightly breaded and fried to golden perfection.

Crab
Crab is an excellent source of protein, plus it is low in fat. It also contains Omega-3 that is great for protecting your body from heart disease and aids in brain development. It contains 12 times the selenium found in beef.   

Crab Stuffed Mushrooms
A bountiful blend of crab meat, cream cheese, cheddar-jack cheese, and special seasoning stuffed in large mushroom caps and baked to a golden brown, all topped with Provel  cheese. 

Crab Rangoon Flatbread
Wobbly Boots own crab rangoon filling slathered on our flatbread pizza crust, topped with mozzarella & Provel cheeses. Finished with fried won tons and a sweet chili drizzle. A customer favorite!

Catfish
This one's high in protein too, plus it's low in mercury. You get lots of B12 from eating catfish, and it also contains healthy fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6.   

Catfish BLT
A southern-style catfish filet coated in seasoned corn meal and fried to a golden brown. Served on a ciabatta roll with bacon, lettuce, tomato and chipotle mayo.

Catfish Dinner
Two Southern Style catfish fillets hand-breaded and fried to a delicious golden brown. Served with lemon wedges and tartar sauce. A real southern treat.

Seafood lovers and BBQ lovers can unite at our family friendly Des Moines restaurant. No matter what your taste, you're sure to find something delicious to order from our Wobbly Boots Roadhouse menu.

Labor Day Weekend is a a holiday to take some time for yourself to relax and enjoy a little down time with family and friends.

That gave us here at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse a few ideas on how you can spend your Labor Day Weekend.  

Spend some of it with us.

We are open seven days a week at 11 am, so if you'd rather join us at the restaurant to enjoy your BBQ, come on by. We'll have sports on the TVs, freshly smoked meat coming out of the kitchen, and the friendliest staff in town ready and waiting to serve you. Eat 'til you're full, then we'll take care of the clean up for you. 

Enjoy a picnic in the park.

A soft blanket, some cold drinks, a few tasty sides, and a picnic basket full of BBQ makes for a great day out. What makes it even better is when you don't have to do the cooking! Give the best BBQ restaurant in Des Moines a call and place your order to go.
